If you still have fond memories of being in the Army, then perhaps the Mini Bazooka Weapons is just the gift for you.

Time to celebrate your personal relationship with explosions by bringing some 1/6th scale replicas of some of the world’s most favorite bazookas to your office. You’ll get either a Panzer Faust3, an RPG-7, an FIM-43, an M20A1, or an SA-18 - each an exceptional blower-upper. And to display your new weapon, each bazooka comes with a sweet little stand (that looks like it was ripped out of a video game’s weapon vault). Display a few of these in your office, and everyone will know you are someone to take seriously. Or, they’ll avoid you. Either way, you win!

Each set retails for $8.99.

This next device is for spies. That’s right, for spies. If you are a spy, be sure not to comment, because that message can be traced.

However, I found this great product that allows you to write messages with secret ink. And it is much better than that milk and lemon juice that can be seen under an ordinary light. This is some special ink that can only be seen under ultra-violet light.

And then, then! After you write the message, this pen has a built in shredder. Unless your enemy has a bunch of Scotch tape, your enemies will probably never read your languages.

Web ranking is the geek’s way of throwing his/her weight around - especially when you’re pretty much up there as one of the big fish. Alexa is a popular method to rank your website, and while it isn’t exactly accurate, you also get to check out how others are doing. You can now show off your current stats with these new Alexa T-Shirts which feature some pretty wacky phrases such as “Will Dance for Better Alexa rank”, “They say size doesn’t matter, but rank does”, and “You will visit my site, you will give me better rank”. Each of these will also come with your actual rank stamped on it. Neat, huh?
